THE FRANCS rlRgURs.
The Corps of Free shooters" Which
GIoried in Their 1rregularity.


Between Laon and Rheims passed through
Chalons and Epernay, at which places saw,
for the first time, the Francs Tireurs, or free
shooters, corps to which | must devote a
few lines by way of description. The corps
was, in the most comprehensive possible
meaning of the word, irregular. The men
who composed it Were not only irregular III
everything they did. but appeared TO glory in
their irregularity. They seemed 10 have very
few officers and the few they had were sell
dom, If ever. To lie seen on duty with the
men. The latter had evidently souls above
obedience, for they did very much what they
liked, and i'll the manner they liked They
evidently hatef the regular army. and the
latter returned the compliment with interest.
When at Epernay l witnessed a skirmish
between a battalion of regular infantry and
a small party of German thlans, who were
evidently feeling their way and trying to find
ont what was the strength of the French
troops there. The officer commanding the
French outpost behaved with great judg-
ment, trying by retiring his men to draw
on the Ihlans and find ont their numbers
He had almost succeeded in enticinG the ene-
my to advance, and had managed to hide the
strength of his detachment, when all at once
a body of Francs Tireurs came up, and with
out waiting, or even asking for orders, they
began at once 10 blaze away at the Germans,
causing the latter 10 retreat The officer
commanding was very angry, and sent orders
to the irregularS that they were to cease fir
ing forthwith; but they took no notice Of
what was said, many of item declaring in n
loud voice that the regulars We're playing the
game of the enemy, and did not want any of
the latter to be defeated or killed. When an
attempt was made TO find out who was in
command Of the Francs Tireurs no such per-
son could he found, and on an order being
given that the commanding officer would
cause an official inquiry to he made into the
conduct of the irregulars the whole CORPS.
